Case Study 3:
Using ICT to Model Relationships and Control Events

Before You Start…
Welcome to the Swansea Bay Online Learning Partnership case study series for teachers of Application of Number. Before you start work on this case study, you will need to ensure that you have confidence in using the skills and ICT packages the case study uses.

The most important package to be comfortable with before you start the case study is:

• A spreadsheet, ideally Excel version 97 or higher - you should be able to create, save, protect and create templates (using a variety of formulae, including logical functions) and charts with Excel.

If you do not feel comfortable with the above, please refer to your skills-check and discuss with your mentor the best way of getting your skills ready before you start. If you are missing just one or two of the skills, and you are happy to develop them while you are working on the case study, go ahead with the next part.
